Stanford University announced at the end of 2009 that they made a solar panel with carbon nano tubes that could convert heat and light to electricity at the same time, making the solar panel competing with oil. In the same period of time they also announced that they made a battery from carbon nano tubes + ink + paper. Stanford university made videos about these subjects, but a few years ago they completely removed those videos from their YT channel. Lucky for you you can still watch both videos because I saved them back in 2009. You're welcome!

How soon it will be used as a weapon against us?
@@andrzejzie7046 it already is used against us. Research hydrogels.
What information you have CURRENTLY as these are PROVEN in every human now adays.
My master's research was actually in carbon nanotubes and I still learned stuff from this video. Thanks for the knowledge and enthusiasm
where would we be without science journalism
We need to stop using A.I. to play games and input a set of rules for winning that figures out what every applied science guy wants... real world answers. Like what is rattling around in my idea/ dream space. I used to play with magnets (not board games) as a kid to pull iron fragments out of the sand and it has stuck with me.
Go with this idea... electromagnets affect things in 1 way, while the simultaneously alternate (yet unknown) magnetic fields will undoubtedly affect other atoms in other ways. Once you get these fields all programmed have the A.I. fire on the base starting material in a real world tests, in every conceivable pattern. Using magnetic fields, light and sound wave length, quantum , frequency and observe the result. A.I. can do this in seconds and the results might surprise us. We were stunned when it won at Go.
@80% Here is another example of how ignorant people can be... I'm 100% sure that you never did a Master Degree... By making this comment, it only shows that you do not have a clue at all of what you're talking about!!! LOL Anyway, that's TH-cam!!! Also, your avatar (80%) tells exactly who you really are: only 80%!!!
@80% That's how a person with only 80% of a brain answer a comment about a Master Degree!!! HAHAHA!!! You're really showing how good you are at commenting ... But hey, I .. forgive you!!! ... (LOL)... You know, with only 80% of your brain, actually, your spelling is not that bad, I'm surprised!!! HAHAHA!!!

Again, a great video and so well explained! Great content! Thank you!
I'd like to see a video like this on Perovskite and an update on where research is.
Actually working on a solar panel efficiency video now that will spend some time talking about perovskite. Stay tuned.
@@rogerstarkey5390 Super Cool, can't wait to see it. Tks Matt, I dig the work you're doing here. 👍👍👍
@@rogerstarkey5390 Matt have you seen anything about 3 point energy partners on this. Several years ago I ran across an investment opportunity with First Solar and Sun Power starting 3 point.
I do appreciate your lucid content! Not repetitive like much of my follows. Often learn awesome new stuff which is my passion...
Couple of comments as someone who did research in the field... 1)"As it turns out carbon nanotubes can be easily mass produced already." This is true only by technicality. Yes, they can be mass produced, but not really in the desired forms that are useful (yet). You mentioned chirality and semiconducting vs metallic but, as far as I know, it is still extremely difficult (and/or expensive) to selectively grow specific chiralities. The same for of the other major factors determining properties such as length and number of walls. 2) I cringe every time anyone brings up the space elevator. It's not feasible/impossible on so many different levels and has done more harm to the development of nanotechnology (as you mentioned by setting expectations so high) than good. It was a terrible back of the envelope calculation that extrapolated nanoscale properties to macroscale structures. This is a big problem with reporting (and sometimes even research) in the community. Properties of carbon nanotubes, graphene, etc. are so "amazing" BECAUSE they are small, it has everything to do with scale. Once you have 10 layers of "graphene" stacked, it is no longer graphene, it's thin graphite. Properties of bundles of nanotubes are very different than those of individual tubes. This is why the only serious applications (in the near term, if not ever) are for devices that intrinsically operate at the micro/nano scale, such as solar cells, supercapacitors, and SOME instances of composite materials.
Do you think keeping those amazing properties at macro scale is completely impossible?
@@Mbeluba I suppose that it depends on what property you're referring to and what you consider macro scale. Carbon nanotubes can have an amazing conductivity and even undergo 'ballistic transport' at relatively large length scales (cm). There are 2 problems in this case: 1) most engineers don't really care about conductivity, they care about conductance (who cares if you can travel 100mph on the interstate if there is only 1 interstate in the entire country). 2) at some point you have to transition from the carbon nanotube to some other material and the interface between the two will be the limiting factor on performance whether that be thermal, mechanical, or anything else (You could have the strongest rope in the world, but it doesn't mean anything if it's just going to slip right out of your hands when something tugs on it)
@@tanman379 what you're saying makes perfect sense on the face of it. I'm curious about the tensile strength, if those 60 Gpa can be maintained in the macroscale needed for stuff like bridge construction.
@@Mbeluba Tensile strength is the maximum stress (force/area) that can be applied. The force required is large because you have to break the extremely strong carbon-carbon pi bonds and the cross sectional "area" of the nanotube is extremely small (note that we're talking about the scale of atoms so this is no longer a continuous area in the traditional sense). If you want to retain this tensile strength, the entire length must be a single continuous nanotube (which already has an amazing aspect ratio of ~10,000:1 by the time it is less than a centimeter long). If you want to make the nanotube bigger in the radial direction then you end up with a larger hole in the middle, implying that the number of pi bonds you need to break per unit area goes down (number of pi bonds is proportional to the nanotube circumference and therefore R while area is proportional to R^2), hence the tensile strength cannot keep up.
@@tanman379 but the strength /weight ratio stays the same? And yeah, I am aware you need a continuous nanotube, growing flawless ones that long is what we're struggling with right. The question is would we be able to bunch them up and affix them to other materials without them unravelling.
If and when these panels that transform heat into light (wtf!?) hit the market at scale... holy moly we're in for a huge paradigm shift. So exciting!
That's why I'm so excited about this research. There's a big gap between lab -> manufacturing at scale. But the concepts that do make the leap are going to make a huge impact.
@@UndecidedMF hoping the U.S. gets it soon. once that is solved on to the rest of all the coverage you mentioned in your videos. Dang I can't stop watching your videos. All the subjects that I'm interested in. Thanks for the in depth coverage. It'll be great if you were from 1 of these research forms or manufacturers.
I think that part was a bit misleading. From my understanding, the nanotubes would help absorb InfraRed (IR) radiation, which is light (aka an electromagnetic wave). We feel IR as heat because a lot of the molecules were made out of absorb IR really well. So it’s a bit of a misnomer to say it’s converting heat into light, it’s just absorbing light that would normally be absorbed and felt as heat. Granted, I could be misinterpreting what he said, but from what I know, how he explained it didn’t make sense.
@@ands246 His reference to heat in the opening statement is misleading, and his use of it in the explanation could be better. He states that the material can absorb and channel thermal photons to light, which the panels can use. His assumptions are that we know that "light" refers to photons of a wavelength in the visible spectrum and that the absorption and channeling that takes place is a conversion process resulting in photonic emission as that light. As quickly as he moves, I agree that the elements within his explanation merited a little more explicitness. He does a great job over-all, though.
Would love to see an update to this in 2021. A yearly update would actually be really good because then it can be a record of positive progress. Goodness knows we need more optimism in this world.
Love this. Another one knocked out the park! Great stuff.
Glad you enjoyed it!
They (an inventor & his group) made a car that u want already
All its armor/body shell is made of advance solar type tech & of course also heat resistant
i still want to see that video again in youtube but i cant find it anymore
Maybe it was deleted coz the elite dont want the masses to know just like tesla's tech
😔
As usual, Matt you make the complex, simple and the mundane incredibly interesting... BRAVO!!!
You are always so well researched and edit very well.
👍
Everything is a game changer until realised...
dammit you...
Awesome for this video popping up in my feed. I was just wondering what happened to nanotubes. Thank you!
I appreciate this video on Carbon Nanotubes. I have been following the breakthroughs of the material over the years, but that seemingly has died down a bit.
This gets me so excited for future tech
Fantastic video! That's so awesome to see such a widespread application of Carbon Nanotubes, the way they increase Solar Panel efficiency's really cool !
Matt first time I have seen you. In your brilliantly and concise explanation of carbon nanotubes you have reignited my love for science... Thank You. 👍👍 liked and Subscribed
Wow, thanks!
There use in fuel cells as a catalyst support is very useful. They can be used in hydrogen storage as well
Amazing channel added to my top favourites already
This looks and seems to be absolutely a pathbreaking and cool breakthroughs. Great content and information.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for another impressive and useful presentation. I am also interested in the cooling potential for buildings, as the currently used systems seem like they can be improved.
Always interesting to see what's on the frontier. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Excellent..... Hats of for this research
Just so detailed and concise! Great report
Glad you liked it!
Top class animations and narration
Keep up the good work
Great vid, lots of info.
Exciting stuff! So many possibilities. Almost like “The laser of materials”. . . a material looking for a solution.
More on the "why' this tech is not everywhere please.
You get extra points for this one.
Good Editing. You pull the music down to 'bed level' when you should.
Most folks mess that up. You didn't. Bravo.
Appreciate that! I've messed up the levels on my music in the past ... think I'm finally getting it dialed in.
Great video 👍! As a current TH-camr, I am contantly searching for fresh ideas! Great Job!
Well done update on nanotubes!
11 minutes of knowledge bath! 🤩
Why I didn't get this channel recommendation before?
3D micro processers really get me excited, the possibility's are crazy as to what they are going to do.... Just wow 👍👍
Wow !!! This will be a big tech jump forward.
Great info! Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
What is your opinion on superconductors? Great video btw!
This video was very informative
Actually Elbit Systems just patented and received seed money to develop a method that increases battery storage and decreases charge time with carbon nanotubes. For car batteries and other applications
Awww, I want a space elevator AND a flying car! I'm decided.
Okay, I want my electric car covered in heat + solar panels now, please.
Nice Video. Very informative.
👍
excellent video
5:13 while it would look awesome You really Don't want to paint your car with it.
All that light it traps turns into HEAT.
Great for passive solar gain applications; But it would basically be turning you car into a solar oven.
Wow, this is some really well researched and informative content. Big thanks from me as I am currently looking for emerging technologies to invest in 👍 keep up the good work!
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Matt, another great video, thanks. I've been following a technology based on solar rectifying antennae which use carbon nanotubes and diodes to convert energy in a similar way a radio aerial converts radio waves to a sound signal. A company called Novasolix claims to have a working prototype at around 45% efficiency with a pathway to 80-90%. I was invited to their offices for a demonstration, but am based in the UK and can't travel at the moment. Would be very interested in your view of their technology.
There are so many great scientists working on new technologies. Awesome.
First comment! Great video Matt. Looking forward to carbon nanotubes finally becoming more available and useful. I agree that they seem to show great promise in energy carpture and storage. But I would love to ride that space elevator!
No kidding! I’d love to ride one too.
The greatest technological challenge for the space elevator will be finding enough room in the elevator for all the floor buttons.
Bravo. Nice Segway lol
The implications and applications of separating the heat out of solar panels is huge. my first thought is using that heat to heat homes.
Nanotechnology is exciting.
Thanks Matt.
Thanks, Ron! 👍
Polymer. Racing yachts were early adopters of carbon fibre. It would be fun if there is some secret nanotube project out there.
Love the clip of the Low Earth orbit space elevator... Make a hard problem impossible.
Imagine the skyscraper you can build with carbon nanotube superstructure, probably build to unthought of heights while still being structurally safe
What does the afterlife look like for graphene and carbon nanotubes? Reuse, recyclability etc. Thanks for another awesome video!
That depends on where they are used. Right now, CNTs are used as an additive material in polymers, for example, to give them desired characteristics. The loading is extremely small and I don't believe that there is an effective means for separating the CNTs out from the waste stream. If the plastics are recycled then the CNTs would be recycled along with them and incorporated in whatever is made from the recycled plastics.
What I'm looking for with nanotubes.
1. Better thermoelectrics.
2. Better, lighter, stronger, Cheaper Buildings.
There have been a few challenges establishing CNTs in construction materials. Cost has been one challenge. Getting the CNTs to disperse in order to get the desired properties is another challenge and this is also tied to delivering the material in a way that will be acceptable by the industry. Another big challenge is the industry is incredibly cost-conscious and resistant to change. That said, with the focus on reducing carbon footprint, there is now a big incentive for the industry to surrender the resistance to change and start looking for ways to make a dent in the footprint. The other issues are also getting solved. Cost of the materials will be driven down as production increases to the level that is required to credibly service the construction industry. Also, dispersion methods have been developed that will address that issue as well. It won't happen overnight, but the ball is already rolling.
All the video I just keep hearing Riley from Linus Media Group. "Carbon NANO TUUUUUUBES!!!!"
I'm interested in seeing how this is implemented in Hydroponics and such.
Good video. My career has always been about applied science. So to me, without useful application it is useless. I understand there is always a transition when a new thing becomes useful. I just don't hold my breath or get too excited about something that is not currently applied or useful.
Fair point. I try to compartmentalize my excitement over research breakthroughs. There's a gap between the lab and mass manufacturing. But it's still awesome to see our understanding broadening and the creative solutions that may be possible.
@@UndecidedMF I totally agree with you. FYI: I think the job you do on these video is very good.
It may be worth noting that over the past year or so, at least two multi-billion dollar corporations have made investments in the CNT space alongside joint development agreements (Birla Carbon and SWM International). Clearly they think that there is commercial viability and also a strategic advantage that can be gained by incorporating nanotechnology. Look for accelerating commercialization of CNTs in printed electronics, battery materials, green/smart building materials, sensors and water filtration.
@@paulferguson8764 I used to work for a large tech company. Their board came up with a plan for a satellite based global cellular communications system. So they announced to the world they were starting on the Iridium project. Since they could now afford all of the expense, they started bringing in partnerships in the project. Most or the engineers I worked with and myself believed that as a business venture it was doomed for failure. This was in the late 1980s and the world was already transitioning to digital communications. However, the Iridium program was planned to use analog communication. Together with the extreme cost, it ruined the company and many of the other companies involved. Just because someone or a large company says they are investing heavily in something, does not mean they know what they are doing or that they will be successful.
1979 the excitement was all about solar voltaic. I installed 2 ARCO panels on my home. Look how far we have come!
Wow ... that’s really cool that you jumped in on solar that long ago. 👍
Undecided with Matt Ferrell yes. And did a thermal solar as well. I was in communications in the us navy in 1959 and we had a 2 watt panel in orbit. Now I’m in Tesla making a fortune! I’m a big science guy. High school drop out who went back to study all that interested me. Life is good. Have fun!
@@banjofrailing3813 Fantastic. How did ya do it? Studying? Did ya go to universities or online learning? I'm interested in doing that but don't know where to start.
I've recently found this channel and watched a few videos, in everyone until now I've heard "I met Ferrell" in the beginning and wondered when he's gonna join the show.
It would be extremely cool if a nanotube film could be retrofit/applied to existing solar panels to increase their efficiency.
I wonder if carbon nano-tubes could be formed around glass fiber optics so you could form long strands of carbon nano-tubes. Sounds like something that could be developed at Corning Inc. and used in the space elevator.
DexMat is commercializing IP developed at Rice University to make CNT "rope".
It is the same Fractal Tube Design I invented a few year back in the 2018.
Really tempted to get a Vatnablack Cybertruck.
The biggest, baddest, and scariest truck around. Like a black hole driving down the street.
Try doing a video on solid state batteries....
Yeah,car painted with this,on night road, with no lights turned on - would be so cool to "see" it.
Very interesting, good, quality presentation ... the narration is a bit too fast and contiguous.
Nice
Utterly fascinating. 99% of visible light absorbed. Wow! Active camo could happen at least at night. Haha.
Matt What about replacing the current glass on solar panels with transparent aluminum? My understanding is that the thermal conductivity of transparent aluminum is about ten times that of solar panel glass.
Look like future is very bright for energy storage,wonder why earlier scientist not thought about these futuristic avenue of energy storage even conceptually.
A vacuum balloon might be possible sooner than most people think. This could be revolutionary for air craft, building, boats etc.
Please check out a thing called gravity... even if your space elevator was two thousand miles tall you would only reduce gravity by a couple of percent. the reason the space station is in orbit is because of it's velocity.
A space elevator would need to be over 150,000 miles long to work, and I don't fancy being stuck in an elevator for that long :)
Make silicon aerogel solar panels, shrink size, and continue research into frequency energy transfer (wireless energy transfer)
One of the elements of the space elevator is its height. Did your research indicate that it would have to be twice the height of a geo-stationary satellite? My question being based on the idea that if a geostationary satellite is at the balance point then anything hanging down from there would need a counter balance. I suppose an alternative would be to have the centre of mass at that altitude.
The calcium chloride method I heard about a year ago on Seeker. It's amazing what they can do with advancing solar panels and making them more efficient. Today's solar panels don't take as much energy so it's almost wasted.
So, in some ways it looks, carbon nanotube technology, if it is able to be quickly developed and commercially integrated, has the potential to mitigate as much of a reliance on rare earth minerals in some sectors of consumer items? That could possibly simplify and relieve some of the pressure from the current existing monopoly, and time needed to find economical recycling, recovery, and cleaner alternative means of acquiring them, by having another parallel technology, that will both allow a potential substitute and determine where the actual can't live without priorities for these materials are, if that limitation actually exists. If you can't get enough materials for one way to work, then make an alternative way with what materials you can use... okay, hack the hell out carbon then, make that dirty stuff into something useful!Interesting video, makes you consider the possibilities...
4 years working on research regarding Graphene and counting. and the deeper I get the more I feel like John Snow (I Know Nothing).
While a space elevator sounds cool, it seems there are many problems right here on terra firms that need solutions first. This was way above my understanding, but I am going to listen several times to sort it in my mind.
Looking for thin black (but it does not matter) suit which will help in thermal control of the body itself .. no more thick feather-filled winter jackets, or swatting like a pig during summer. Which will also protects me not just against heat but also against other elements .. and sharp objects .. I know it's possible, seen some bulet-proof tests.
Then for batteries/capacitors which will store enough energy to power my gadgets or even car/house for years without need to recharge (which will be fast as well) a which wont degrade.
And solar panels, or more precisely film/coating/foils which can cover surfaces and generate electricity with almost 100% efficiency.
Then we will become almost energy independent.
Does anyone know if the graphene layers on the solar panels are laid directly on each other or offset by some angle? Or if that would make any difference at all?
I understand why companies need to keep things secret,,, but just think where we would be if everything was shared more openly......
Thank goodness for university based research
I have recently seen a vantablack bmw in Kologne and it was scary! Like a moving black hole with a propeller badge... i don't think it should be allowed on the streets.
Cool right? But even that was watered down, as not the full 99% VANTA black was applied, you can google to fact check it. It turns out using the full VANTA black will make the 3d outline of the car indiscernible
Everytime I see nanotubes wonder why we can't just draw out billions of individual tubes in the same way that nylon is drawn out of two base solutions. But I'm no chemist. Anyone?
Any stock from this nano technology i can buy?
Please explain the difference between Armchair and Chiral Tubes, as i don't see it at 2:40
One is perpendicular and the other is at a diagonal
Nice vid. How long till we have graphene or carbon nanotube ultracapacitors with lithium ion level energy density? Would like my Tesla to charge in seconds!.
I think we're still a ways off from that, but still a lot of potential with things like Nawa's supercap or Skeleton Technologies capacitors.
Undecided with Matt Ferrell
Aww come on Matt. You’re bringing me down man! ;)
So I want an aircon that also runs my computer. How long before I can have that?
We need space elevators. Think of the cool ways it could be used. Think hard and make a video about it.
We need to stop using A.I. to play games and input a set of rules for winning that figures out what every applied science guy wants... real world answers. Like what is rattling around in my idea/ dream space. I used to play with magnets (not board games) as a kid to pull iron fragments out of the sand and it has stuck with me.

Solar is just getting better and better
what i dont understand is why dont we use the various minerals that absorb the different wavelengths of light and turn it into electricity?
But I want my space elevator now!
What about recycling? Is there any research on recycling of them. I am excited about new materials but after the mess we have made with plastic, it would be good to have new materials come with recycling tech.
It's fully recyclable and can even be biogradeable. I don't think we'll end up in the same situation as we are with plastics.
@@UndecidedMF isn't there a potential problem with nano-scale fibrous materials, similar to coal dust and asbestosis?
Vanta black car could would be cool.. tonne of LEDs just in case though..
I hope this helps ,but long as it's one person per s.u.v. sure looks like everyone is going to have to move from the equator.
I envision Robotic Spiders of all sizes weaving threads and webs of Carbon-nano material that harden when exposed to oxygen. 🤔
